Mitre Lock Bit


I've got a job where I need to use a MITRE lock bit normally I just run scrap pieces through till it's set .I remember seeing on You tube a couple of videos showing a quick and easy way to set the bit upbut all I can find now is a guy using a plastic template can any one point me in the right direction thanks.

Poor guy. Legit question and he didnt ask prices, and still torn apart. He is from Germany.(European vernacular). I would make my own set up blocks out of hardwood once i get the height right, And then keep them on the wall or something or in a drawer. Regardless of how you spelled mitre i knew exactly what you meant.

He' really a displaced Brit,
if memory serves.
(Memory can be an unfaithful servant.)
My point was......
If you are looking for a U.S. reference,
use the U.S.spelling.
I have had problems finding Brit
and Canuk references when I
forget that they spell funny.


I'd never beat up on ol' billy.
Not for that anyway.

Re: Mitre Lock Bit


Thanks for the thought Foster,I'm from the U.K.I live in Germany.Being at C.T.is no different than any building site in the world somebody stumbles or falls the first question is "every thing OK"when the answer is "yea" then every one laughs their head off,and just like any building site if you are looking for sympathy you are definitely in the wrong place.
Thanks for the idea about the mock ups.
